Mississippi Judges are Above the Law

by mrsgda in Law, March 16, 2009

A Mississippi Judge ruled and rescued himself from a child custody case, because he was friends with the mothers attorney. Judge Yeager never sides with the innocent – When will it all change?

Judge William Singletary  is a Hinds County Chancery Court Judge in Jackson Mississippi.

Judge Singeltary had his own problems with the law during 2007.Judge Singeltary was arrested for placing a machete to the neck of a city inspection worker, plus the judge tried to attacked his neighbor because their dog was barking. One would think that this judge would not be allowed to continue, but not in Mississippi because it’s more of a who you know state, especially when it come to the judiciary system.

Judge Singeltary gave temporary custody of a child to a grandmother, due to the biological mother’s drug use and drug activity. After the child’s mothers boyfriend hired her an attorney who bragged to a detective, about being friends with Judge Singeltary the entire case changed for the worse.

The child hadn’t lived with the biological mother since he was three months old, due to her life style of drug use and drug activity. The child was taken from his daycare by the biological mother on July 19 2007. Although the mother drove recklessly throwing the child all over the car, the police did nothing, I guess the police were doctors because they looked at the child and said that the child was find. 

The mother had  taken the child  into a known drug house, but the police had the nerve to tell the child’s grandmother that he was okay! The mother left the state of Mississippi with the child. After the Judge gave temporary custody of the child to the grandmother, the FBI became involved after the mother refused to cooperate with the Ohio Police Department.

The child was found after a month of being in the custody of his biological mother. The Grandmother immediately took the first available flight to Ohio to retrieve the child. The Grandmother was met by a social worker at the air port, who returned the child to her care.

  Although the grandmother was happy to see the child, she was hurt when she saw the condition of her grand child. The child had loss weight, sores  were in his head, and he had a skin rash. The grandmother took photos of the child’s condition because she thought this would be proof for court. The child had taken school photos about two weeks before he left Mississippi. The difference in the two photos showed a clear case of abuse.

After the child’s return to Mississippi he was taken to his pediatrician where he was diagnosed with a serious case of ring worm,scabies,loss of weight, and bronchitis. The grandmother had all of the documents and photos, when she and her son who is the child’s father, attended court on November 20,2007.

The grandmother had witnesses  such as the officer, who arrested the mother for drug activity who is now indicted on the charges in Mississippi. the child’s mother was not suppose to leave the state of Mississippi,  by law the mother should have been arrested in the court room.

The child’s father was not allowed by the judge to take the stand on the behalf of his own son. But the  daughter-in-law was allowed to be a witness, who told the court that the mother called high on drugs screaming that she would smother the child with a pillow due to his likeness of his father.

The Child Pediatrician was also awaiting the chance to be a witness on behalf of the child’s condition but was not allowed to testify. Judge Singeltary allowed very little testimony, he didn’t allow any the photos are documents to be shown.

Due to the judges sudden change of ethics, the grandmothers attorney told her to  tell the court about the   mothers attorney who stated that he had a friendship with the judge, and how he had bragged to a detective about how he would win the case due to friendship.

Judge Singeltary quickly ruled and rescued himself from the case, and returned the child to his biological mother, who had just told Judge Singeltary that she used marijuana, but she didn’t have money to buy any at the time after the grandmothers attorney inquired about her drug use. This cause the case to pend because a new judge had to be assigned to the case, and the child’s mother would have to be re-served the court documents but she is hiding and the Grandmother and the child’s father have exhausted there savings due to attorney fees and private investigators who have not found the mother and child. But I know that the child is in a bad situation because,  the child was only with his mother for a month and look at how his condition changed , now its been over a year its no telling how this child is living or being treated. This is a true story if anyone can help, whether its an attorney or private investigator this family has court transcripts and documents of proof pertaining to this case. you can contact this family: surety777@aol.com 

Next we have the Commissioner of Insurance Mike Chaney, and his relationship with the highest ranking judge in  the state of Mississippi Swan Yeager.

Judge Yeager is a judge who is known for his involvements in cases of appeal due to insurance agents who are said to be guilty of insurance fraud or for breaking insurance rules and regulations. If the agent is innocent of the charges, and the attorneys who represent the insurance commission can know that their is a reasonable doubt  they will not uphold the law.

There was an agent accused of issuing a workers compensation binder to a customer. A hearing was held at the Mississippi Insurance department for this agent. The contractor who testified against the agent durning the hearing stated that the signature that appeared on the binder was his own, and he said that he was disabled and his son owned the company.

So if he was not the owner, and his son is the Owner of the company, why didn’t his son appear at the hearing? Why would a seasoned agent give a person who is not the owner of  a company a binder for insurance coverage?

Why would Builder who hired the contractor filed a complaint against an insurance agent  when he excepted a binder from his contractors father? Why would the Builder except the binder with the fathers name on the binder, when the man’s son is the owner of the company?

The builder,the father and the contractor are clearly guilty as sin, but not in Mississippi. Although this agent explained that they didn’t know the contractor, the Department of Insurance decided to revoke the agents license and the agent has to pay the builder restitution of over $3,000. Although the insurance Commission knew the truth they  did not acknowledge the evidence, which is again proof of misconduct of another public official in Mississippi.  Judge Yeager has never sided with an insurance agent in Mississippi, he has and will always agreed with the insurance commissions findings.

Its sad to say but Mississippi leaders such as, the governor, insurance commissioner, and the majority of judges have continued to  favor their friends, to the point of when consumers file complaints in-reference to their actions the complaints are never enforced by the peers of the officials, unless the situation is publicly known. The media is in the same category as the Justice system, if you have incriminating information about a judge or anyone in the justice system, the media will not tell your story. Let me explain how it all works: The Judges, personally know the Insurance Commissioner, who knows the Governor.  The media employee’s are the children and grand children of friends, who grew up with the mentioned officials. This is why the media will rarely air or reports anything negative about an official ,even if they have knowledge of them being dishonest, it has always depended on who is making the complaint.

To sum it all up, when an official does not uphold  the law in-reference to a consumer in Mississippi is ignored by the justice system

    Why is it that our law officials have so much control and power over the laws?
    They send people to prison for less criminal activity then they do themselves, and nothing is done about it? When ever a law official commits a crime, they get community service or probation. Yet, let an average citizen commit the same crime, and they go to prison. Are the laws created only for average citizens? When is JUSTICE going to be handed out to those who are dishing out punishment, while committing worse crime themselves?

    I was also victimized by Judge Singletary. He made a ruling on a case of mine. Then he allowed the opposing attorney to write the order to reflect a fovorable decision for him. I ordered the court transcript and it proved that the order was changed. My attorney filed for a reconsideration and we went back before Judge Singletary armed with the transcript. After pointing out the cinconsistancies between the trascript and the order, the Judge refused to change the order.
